Wolves have held talks with their former manager Nuno Espirito Santo over a possible return to the club, but there's a twist.

The Old Gold are continuing their search for a new manager after they sacked former boss Bruno Lage at the start of October.

A 2-0 loss at West Ham saw Wolves slip into the Premier League relegation zone and resulted in the Portuguese being shown his marching orders by the Molineux hierarchy.

Since then, many top coaches have been linked with the job, including former Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui and Nuno, with claims even surfacing that the latter has already travelled to Wolverhampton.

Reliable journalist Liam Keen has now shared an update on the interest in the former Tottenham manager.

The Latest: Keen shares Nuno talks update...

According to the Express and Star reporter, talks have 'taken place' between Wolves and the 'representatives' of Nuno as the club consider re-hiring their former manager.

He is one of the candidates being considered, but Keen also backs that the 48-year-old is no longer an outright first choice for the role, with QPR head coach Michael Beale also being considered.

The Verdict: Reconsider?

Perhaps Nuno's return wouldn't be the most outlandish appointment given that he already knows the club and has been a proven success them in the past.

Wolves won the Championship title in his first season at the helm and then finished seventh for two top-flight campaigns running, with the Portuguese also earning praise from some prominent figures in football.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has called the tactician 'excellent', with Spurs striker and England captain Harry Kane also branding Nuno 'great'.

Wolves need stability amid their current battle against Premier League relegation, and Nuno has certainly delivered that before.
